Criminal Defense Services in Fair Lawn, NJ

Kraminsky Law offers a full range of criminal defense services to clients in Fair Lawn, NJ, and nearby areas. Some of the key areas of criminal defense we handle include:

Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence in New Jersey can have criminal and civil consequences. Temporary Restraining Orders or “TROs” are heard in the Family Part of the Superior Court. If you have been served with a Domestic Violence Restraining Order, your case will be heard in Hackensack, New Jersey at the Bergen County Superior Court located at 10 Main Street in Hackensack, New Jersey. 

There are often criminal charges stemming from a domestic violence incident, such as a simple assault, an aggravated assault, harassment and/or stalking. It is important to understand that while TRO proceedings are civil in nature, the criminal charges against you are not! 

New Jersey prosecutors take allegations of domestic violence very seriously, impacting not only your criminal record but also your relationships with children and family members. While many instances involve physical acts like Assault or Strangulation, some crimes encompass behaviors such as Harassment or Stalking. Unfortunately, accusations are sometimes motivated by improper reasons, including matrimonial or financial disputes. Whether the accuser exaggerated, misrepresented, or is being truthful, our criminal defense lawyers in Fair Lawn can help residents protect their rights and strive to have the restraining orders dismissed and the charges reduced, dropped, or dismissed.

Theft Crimes

Prosecutors may charge you with a theft crime if you take or withhold property from its rightful owner. Theft crimes range from your run of the mill shoplifting in Fair Lawn cases to Theft by Deception indictable crimes. Our office has represented numerous individuals charged within Fair Lawn and the surrounding towns for shoplifting and theft-related offenses. 

No matter the nature of the theft arrest or the amount involved, misdemeanors and felonies can be mitigated or reduced with the right legal counsel.

Drug Crimes

If arrested for possessing, manufacturing, or trafficking controlled substances, you may face years in prison and substantial fines. However, you have options. We may raise a defense if your rights were violated in collecting the evidence that the prosecutor is seeking to use against you in the Fair Lawn Municipal Court or Bergen County Superior Court. The Fourth Amendment protects you from unlawful searches and seizures. If drugs were seized from your home or car without a warrant or probable cause, we could file a motion to suppress the evidence. Whether the substances are prescription drugs like Adderall or illegal drugs like cocaine or heroin, your defenses may be extensive.

DWI & DUI

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in Fair Lawn, New Jersey can lead to serious penalties and loss of your license. You can be arrested for DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) if you operate a vehicle with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or greater. A related offense is DUI (Driving Under the Influence). Someone arrested for a DWI may be able to plead down to a lesser charge and receive reduced penalties. Our Fair Lawn criminal defense attorneys can help craft a strategy to fight your drunk driving charge, which may involve challenging the basis for the stop or the accuracy of BAC tests or the Standard Field Sobriety Testing, which was administered by the Fair Lawn Police. 

Sex Crimes

If convicted of a sex crime, you may need to register as a sex offender, undermining your reputation and career opportunities. The high stakes make it critical to enlist a criminal lawyer who can carefully investigate the events leading to the charges. Many sex crime cases hinge on the credibility of the accuser and the alleged perpetrator. We can identify gaps in the accuser’s recollection and help present a thorough account from your perspective. Consent may be a valid defense in cases involving adults. Other sex crimes, such as child pornography or Internet offenses, may involve more sophisticated arguments.

Victims of Extortion, Blackmail, Stalking & Harassment

Few things are more frightening than being the target of Blackmail, Extortion, Stalking, or harassment by an ex-lover, former partner, or others willing to destroy your life to achieve their goals. Many victims unwittingly jeopardize their lives by submitting to an abuser’s demands. Because any misstep can compromise your future, securing counsel with in-depth legal knowledge and experience is critical. Whether working with investigators to confront your harasser with a cease-and-desist letter, building a case to present to prosecutors, or obtaining a Restraining Order for extra protection, Kraminsky Law will put you in the best position to safely move forward.

Victims of Revenge Porn

We sympathize with victims of Online Harassment, Cyberbullying, Revenge Porn, and Sextortion. If you have been affected by these behaviors, you have legal rights. We can help you file a DMCA Takedown Notice to remove offensive material and ensure it’s inaccessible through search engines. We can also explore filing criminal charges against the perpetrator and obtaining a Restraining Order to prevent recurrence. Our attorneys can help victims bring civil claims for emotional distress and punitive damages when appropriate.

Family Court Restraining Orders

Our attorneys can help you secure a Restraining Order or fight against an unwarranted one issued by a Family Court. A limited or full Restraining Order can shield an individual against someone harassing them or committing an offense under New Jersey law. It can be issued on a victim’s behalf against someone they were dating, a former spouse, or a sibling. A full TRO prevents any contact, while a limited order allows reasonable contact but prohibits harassment or violence. We can help you understand which type of order is appropriate, draft civil restraints agreements, represent you in court, and engage the other side’s counsel to resolve the situation efficiently.
